My First Season

Dean Bernal returns for his fourth and final episode of Dolphin Month on My First Season. In this fascinating conversation, Dean shares stories about JoJo and Silver, observing JoJo's remarkable behaviour around sharks, the unforgettable day JoJo introduced him to a baby humpback whale, his work in Japan, and meeting the Dalai Lama. Dean has far too many incredible stories to fit into just four interviews, so this won't be the last you'll hear from him. He'll be back in the near future to share even more of his extraordinary experiences.

My guest, Dean Bernal, returns for his second interview! In this episode, we look back at his time as a Scuba G.O. at Club Med Turks and Caicos in the mid-1980s and revisit some unforgettable memories from those incredible years. We also explore his extraordinary friendship with JoJo the dolphin, a story so unique it deserves an episode of its own, which we'll dive into in depth. Along the way, Dean shares what it was like trying to give antibiotics to a wild dolphin, how to handle JoJo when he decides to play while you're teaching a resort scuba course, and one of the greatest whale-watching pranks ever pulled! I hope you enjoy the conversation! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

My guest today first arrived at Club Med Eleuthera in 1986 as a Scuba G.O. If you were a G.O. at Club Med during the '80s or '90s and his name doesn't immediately ring a bell, you'll almost certainly know him as the man behind the longest-lasting documented human-dolphin relationship in recorded history. If you were there, chances are you saw the two of them swimming and playing together. Because his story is truly one of a kind, we're splitting our conversation into many interviews. In the first, we'll dive into his Club Med experience at Eleuthera. In the second, we’ll talk about his time at Club Med Turks and Caicos, and in another interview, we'll explore his extraordinary bond with JoJo the dolphin. Joining us from California, please help me welcome the one and only, Dean Bernal!! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

Mon invitée d’aujourd’hui a fait deux saisons au Club Med. Sa première saison, en 2017, était au Club Med d’Ixtapa, où elle travaillait au Mini Club et au Teen Club. Pour sa deuxième saison, elle est allée à Phuket comme responsable du Teen Club. À l'âge de 15 ans, elle a participé aux Jeux du Québec et au Championnat canadien de tennis de table, et nous allons parler de ça et de bien plus encore aujourd’hui. Originaire de Granby, veuillez accueillir Alexandra Tessier! **Le podcast My First Season a toujours été gratuit et sans publicité et peut être téléchargé sur: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora et Listen Notes.
